To be annoyed at this....

[Pinkyponker]

OH Is cooking dinner... Very rarely happens..

Questions every 5 seconds... Its chicken nuggets and chips not rocket science!

Now he's annoyed cuz he's stuck it all in for the same amount of time even though part of it needs cooking for ten minutes less apparantly that's my fault for not telling him to put it In Halfway through even though he's the one reading the boxes and timings etc

Background info. I'm unwell with a dental abscess. I've had hardly any sleep for two nights due to toddler.

Am I being unreasonable in being annoyed that he can't handle a simple task of feeding two small children without fifty thousand questions

YANBU! Sounds like he needs more practice...

chicken nuggets and chips

I hope you mean dinner for the kids and that's not your dinner...

I know I'm missing the point

I had to teach my ex how to make a pot noodle, you are not being unreasonable at all.

where’s the veg
Sorry about the tooth just had a major filling myself so
Flowers to you

YANBU.
I get fed up with all the questions too when I'm busy and ask OH to put on the tea.
Last ask was how do you cook the pasta.
Always mess and grease splattered on walls etc. I swear he does it on purpose. Much easier to juggle jobs or prise myself off death bed and do it myself.
Really hate him for it.

YANBU! Sounds like he needs more practice

Heh that's exactly what I say when they try the incompetence thing. Tell him since he seems to be struggling it can be his job from now on until he can do it without asking questions.

That's why they do it.

YABU for always doing it which I assume is why he cant/won't. Did you always cook before you had kids? Did he never live alone?

Yes he is doing it on purpose.

This is so depressing

Why do women get together with such incompetent idiots?

No veg tonight unfortunately... But I'm sure they'll survive without veg for one night!

He definitely needs more practice, I'm not sure I can cope with the hassle though.

Then you’re playing right into his hands. Too much hassle, I’ll just do it myself. Result for him.

He needs to do it more often.

My deadbeat dad actually giggles when advising others, they are always men, to just "mess it up, she wont ask again". They do it on purpose.

Our 17 yr old son cooked tonight...a chicken and mushroom risotto. It was spot on. I mumsnetted while he got on with it.
Cooking is not hard, you just have to follow the instructions and work out the timings. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.
Next time he cooks, be unavailable. He’ll figure it out without deferring to you.

To be honest he did suggest I go for a walk to have some peace and quiet from the kids while he cooked but I hadn't eaten all day due to the pain so just wanted to collapse on the sofa after work.

I find cooking simple and just couldn't understand what could be so difficult about cooking a few chuck in the oven type foods. He has since apologised for getting angry that I was annoyed with his incompetency.

Oh you are so not being unreasonable. I’m struggling with a reluctant caregiver currently and it’s so hard to watch them mess up the simplest things
